Level 70 Machinist Quest

[ChrisAmaterasu]

Hi there,

In regards to the Level 70 Machinist Quest

Just checking that this phrase from Hilda is correct.
She states '...I know you. You're that noble bitch what ignored me outside the Vault.'

Is it meant to be, You're that noble bitch that ignored me instead of what?

Kind regards,
Chris

No, it is correct as she says it.
Think of it in a sense of inner city "slang", given as she is portrayed as a backstreet gang "boss-thug" in a very general sense.
It is a common phrase of slang-speak, especially in the UK.

Ah okay, I see.
Thanks for that!

Good to know =)

I agree, it is intended as slang and people in the UK understand it.

Glad to be of help


The localization team for FF14 is pretty good at coming up with the various "regional speaks" for the areas in game that are represented, a bit often stereo-typically, to the "real earth" areas, customs, and speech that the in game area mirrors.


So, think of:

• Limas = Iberian Penninsula in the reference frame of 1600's-ish navel and pirate styles, but for some reason, most of the people are from cockney London
• La Noscea = Inland Mediterranean, with a mix of inland Spain and Portugal of the same time period as Limas... Oh, and dat wine
• Gridania and the Black Shroud = Late medieval, mid pagan era Germanic / Black Forest and toss in a spoonful of Celtic
• Ul'dah and Thanalan = Old North African / Moroccan, and a bit of Andalusia, all ran by potatoes
• Ishgard = Papal era France, Switzerland, and Austria, with heavy on the crusades themes, except the dragons are the target and for some reason there is a bit of UK influence ( damn you Monty Python!!! )
• Gyr Abania = Eastern Europe, localized kingdoms era, nearing that era's end
• Othard = Asia, with Yanxia and Doma being Nara-era Japan, Ruby Sea being the Sea of Imperial Japan (eastern) with Hingashi / Kugane as a bit later Japan closer to Edo-era, Azim Steppe being tribal Mongolia
• Thavnair and Radz-at-Han = India (but some of their monsters and tribes went to Ala Migho and Azim... for reasons...)
• Sharlayan = Enlighten era Greece, but they all got shipped to Iceland
• Garemald = Sort of a slush of pre-soviet Russian orthodox zealotry and Ancient Rome society, but with almost-giant robots!!!

With Dawn Trail we get all three Americas (South, Central, and North America), with a era span from ancient Myian and Aztec, to post-Spain Yucatan and Mexico, to US "cowboy" era West, with a sprinkling of ....maybe... Logan's Run and clone-wars old Star Wars for Heritage Found, Living Memory, and Solution 9.


So, when you run across some wording or phases that seem "wrong", just take a step back and think of yourself in that in game area's "earthly" area, and how did and do people there talk or act.
